O’ a’ the num’rous human dools,

Ill har’sts, daft bargains, cutty-stools,

Or worthy friends rack’d i’ the mools,

Sad sight to see!

The tricks o’ knaves, or fash o’ fools,

Thou bear’st the gree.

Where’er that place be priests ca’ hell,

Whence a’ the tunes o’ mis’ry yell,

And ranked plagues their numbers tell,

In dreadfu’ raw,
